I’ve been a Leafs fan my whole life, which means I’ve seen a lot of really embarrassing losses.
I’ve seen It Was 4-1. I’ve seen them get six shots in an elimination game. I’ve seen the 12-1 loss in Pittsburgh. I’ve seen them lose 8-0 in the playoffs, at home, while fans rained garbage and jerseys on the ice. I’ve seen the paper bags. I’ve seen the waffles.
I thought I had seen it all. Then I saw the Leafs lose to a 42-year-old Zamboni driver.
This one was… well, it was different. I’m not sure yet if it’s worse.
